Hi,

The only reason I am even including Spring.jar - is because Spring API supports loading of files using the ant style **/*.xml paths... (which is really useful especially for my custom task..)

But in theory, I should not need to include spring.jar for this support - as the logic to map these paths to File resoures must be in the ant core API somewhere...

The question is, where are the classes that do this mapping (between path + file(s)), are they public, and do they have the interfaces I need?

I currently call:

org.springframework.core.io.support.PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver p =
new org.springframework.core.io.support.PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver();


org.springframework.core.io.Resource[] resources = p.getResources(antStylePath);

               if (resources != null) {

info("Loaded [" + resources.length + "] resources from file");

for (int resourceNum=0; resourceNum < resources.length; resourceNum++) {

org.springframework.core.io.Resource resource = resources[resourceNum];

String fileName = resource.getFile().getAbsolutePath();
debug("Processing file [" + fileName + "]");


Any help on this would be appreciated - it may save me having to include the 1.2MB spring.jar file with the distribution..

I am sure there is probably a core Ant class I could use for this support - the code must be in there somewhere!

But including spring works anyhow..

&gt;In your resource you should not set the classpath. Doing so will
&gt;override the classpath given in the build file and cause ant to be
&gt;confused.
&gt;So just use:
&gt; &lt;antlib&gt;
&gt; &lt;taskdef name=&quot;renamepackages&quot;
&gt;classname=&quot;org.appfuse.ant.RenamePackages&quot;/&gt;
&gt;&lt;/antlib&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;For example:
&gt;src/testing/UseSpring.java:
&gt;package testing;
&gt;import org.springframework.beans.PropertyValue;
&gt;import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
&gt;
&gt;public class UseSpring extends Task {
&gt; private PropertyValue pv = new PropertyValue(&quot;hello&quot;, &quot;world&quot;);
&gt; public void execute() {
&gt; log(&quot;pv is &quot; + pv);
&gt; }
&gt;}
&gt;src/testing/antlib.xml:
&gt;&lt;antlib&gt;
&gt; &lt;taskdef name=&quot;usespring&quot; classname=&quot;testing.UseSpring&quot;/&gt;
&gt;&lt;/antlib&gt;
&gt;
&gt;build.xml:
&gt;&lt;project name=&quot;testspring&quot; default=&quot;use&quot;&gt;
&gt; &lt;target name=&quot;jar&quot;&gt;
&gt; &lt;mkdir dir=&quot;classes&quot;/&gt;
&gt; &lt;javac srcdir=&quot;src&quot; destdir=&quot;classes&quot;
&gt;classpath=&quot;lib/spring.jar&quot;/&gt;
&gt; &lt;copy todir=&quot;classes&quot;&gt;
&gt; &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src&quot; includes=&quot;**/*.xml&quot;/&gt;
&gt; &lt;/copy&gt;
&gt; &lt;jar destfile=&quot;usespring.jar&quot;&gt;
&gt; &lt;fileset dir=&quot;classes&quot;/&gt;
&gt; &lt;/jar&gt;
&gt; &lt;/target&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;target name=&quot;use&quot; depends=&quot;jar&quot;&gt;
&gt; &lt;typedef resource=&quot;testing/antlib.xml&quot;
&gt;classpath=&quot;usespring.jar:lib/spring.jar&quot;/&gt;
&gt; &lt;usespring/&gt;
&gt; &lt;/target&gt;
&gt;&lt;/project&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;Outputs:
&gt;Searching for build.xml ...
&gt;Buildfile: /home/preilly/learning/a/spring/build.xml
&gt;
&gt;jar:
&gt; [mkdir] Created dir: /home/preilly/learning/a/spring/classes

&gt;&gt;Hi ,
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Yes I have tried that (well a variety of this type of thing) and it
&gt;&gt;is not working for me...
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;In my 'main' build.xml file I do this:
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&lt;typedef resource=&quot;org/appfuse/ant/appfuse-contrib.xml&quot;
&gt;&gt; classpath=&quot;spring.jar;rename-packages-1.0.jar&quot;
&gt;&gt; uri=&quot;appfuse:/org.appfuse.ant&quot;/&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Then, in my appfuse-contrib.xml file I do:
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
&gt;&gt;&lt;antlib&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; &lt;taskdef name=&quot;renamepackages&quot;
&gt;&gt; classname=&quot;org.appfuse.ant.RenamePackages&quot;
&gt;&gt; classpath=&quot;spring.jar&quot;
&gt;&gt; onerror=&quot;fail&quot;/&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&lt;/antlib&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;But whatever I try setting either classpath to (or even if I use
&gt;&gt;inline classpath, or classpathref), my custom ant task cannot find
&gt;&gt;the spring classes..
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Is it possible what I am trying to do? Eric's article + other
&gt;&gt;postings I have read seem to suggest, the only two ways of using
&gt;&gt;3rd party classes from wthin a custom task is to ether a) kick off
&gt;&gt;a new JVM task or b) put the jars in the System classpath (ie.
&gt;&gt;ANT_HOME/lib)..
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Can anyone confirm either way??

&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;Hello Ben,
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;Have you tried with to &amp;lt;taskdef&amp;gt; your custom task with
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;classpath nested tag:
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;taskdef classname=&amp;quot;org.myorg.MyTask&amp;quot;&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;classpath&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- location to your jars here --&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/classpath&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/taskdef&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;HTH Ivan

&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; Hi,
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; My custom Ant task relies on the Spring jar files,
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; but whatever I try, I get
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; a class not found exception..
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; I read a lot of posts on this and saw Eric's article
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; here:
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_02/magazine/features/ehatcher/
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; But I cannot believe I have to spawn off a JVM to
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; pick up the spring jar's
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; do I?
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; and I really dont want to force any user that uses
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; my task to copy the jar's
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; into their $ANT_HOME/lib...
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; Has anyone got a nice, tidy way of making 3rd party
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; jar files available to a
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; custom task?
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt; Thanks
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;gt;
